Jimmy Clausen(notes) and Tom Zbikowski(notes) (zuh-BOW’-ski) both saw the NFL work
stoppage coming and were ready to fill the void in their schedules.
Clausen, the Panthers quarterback, went back to college, seeking the 15
credits he needs to graduate. Zbikowski, a safety for the Ravens, went back to
boxing—yes, boxing.
Since there’s no telling when the NFL lockout will end, guys are finding all
sorts of ways to keep busy.
Some are delving into existing business, projects and charities, such as
Bills safety Jairus Byrd(notes) expanding a program to recognize random acts of
kindness.
Others are cultivating new interests and activities, such as Steelers
receiver Hines Ward(notes) “Dancing With The Stars” and Bengals receiver Chad
Ochocinco(notes) dabbling in pro soccer.
